At Sunrise 2
Posted: Sat Jul 18, 2015 8:59 am
Well this drive is previewed from 6am to 9am on the 18th of july. Yes i am reporting while the drive is still going, continue reading to know why.
So today was the second time in my life that i put my feet in the sand. First time was for the Ramadan Iftar 2015, we cannot call that really a drive.
Being curious i saw a Newbie10+ drive. I said to myself that it is a good opportunity if i can join with somebody as a passanger so i can discover before I take my future club member drive.
[MENTION=1633]Yoghybear[/MENTION] proposed himself generously to take me as his passenger and I accepted.
This morning I was on time, so excited to see how the drive will be. To be sure not to be hungry i ate 2bananas and a juice at 5am.
Convoy took off at 06:10 with 1Marshal - 2Advanced - 1Intermediate - 3marshals - 2passengers ( [MENTION=1803]Zorro[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1633]Yoghybear[/MENTION]).
The first 15mins were so cool. Tornado was eating the dunes one after another. Everybody was keeping the path and drivers were good. Yoghy had a little smile on his face and told me drivers are keeping up so let's step it up a little bit.
At this moment we started jumping over the dunes, taking sharp angles, mistreating the suspension but the car kept screaming asking for more.
At this stage, without noticing i started sweating a lot even though the Ac was full on my face. My sight started to blurr and i was feeling my stomach beging Tornado please stop please stop. I didn't dare to say anything to Yoghy, I didn't want to appear weak, but my mouth started to do the puking gesture on it's own. I tried to control myself so hard. At this moment Yoghy noticed me and started smiling, he talked to the convoy on his radio saying with a smile on his face: "guys we have to stop for five minutes, i have a sick passenger. "
Felt so embarrassed, we stopped and I started walking a little bit tornading around tornado to see if the sickness goes away.
One driver came to me ( sorry i still don't know all the names) telling me: "didn't you take your pills?" I looked back at him with a what the hell are you talking about look. He seemed very serious about it and told me that all passengers should take the pills. I understood at that point that he was talking about some transport sickness relief pills. Yoghy shaked his head and said: "yes i should have warned you to take that but it nevers happen to me when i am a passenger"
Well i felt a little bit better knowing that the sickness is common and can happen frequently. I felt a little less weak.
Then Yoghy suggested that i go in the sweeper car [MENTION=1687]Arminjune[/MENTION], which should be softer ( as a high strategic person i am sure he was sending me to the sweeper so I don't throw up in his car :D).
Last jokes were made and i was given a plastic bag if something happens. I was not even allowed to eat the oranges :'(
I went with Arminjune but was dizzy to a point were i forgot my car keys in Yoghy's tornado. After 5mins with the sweeper, I felt even worth and knew that throwing up time was coming. He noticed it and kindly asked me if i wanted to go back. I felt so bad because I didn't want to ruin his drive but in my condition i was very happy to accept that proposal.
While we were driving back to deposit me to my car @badayer i remembered that i left my car keys in Tornado. 1 shit doesn't come alone like we say :D
Armin dropped me at 07:30 at the shops. I told him it is okay i will wait until the drive finishes so i can take my car key back.
Sickness took more than 20mins to go away until 07:55, drank some water and while waiting i said to myself let's share this with the almosters. Laughing is forbidden
I know that this is not a report from a driver but an uncomplete passenger experience. I think that when you are a passenger in a desert drive you need a little bit of preparation and TAKE THAT PILLS. Hope any future passengers will read this and be prepared.
I think i will not forget this first experience and thanks to all the convoy for being patient with me. Special thanks to [MENTION=1633]Yoghybear[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1687]Arminjune[/MENTION]
Ps: written from my phone at the shops while waiting for the convoy to come back. When i come back home i will edit with the right smilies and tags :p
